Physical separator and chemically emulsified hydrocarbon water for bilges of ships.

摘要

Hydrocarbon water separator physically and chemically emulsified for bilges of ships.; The separator is intended to separate hydrocarbons emulsified in water, both physically and chemically, based on the combination of two technologies, one of them corresponding to gravimetric separation of hydrocarbon from water, and the other corresponding to ultrafiltration in membranes. The gravimetric separation unit (1) includes a package of coalescing plates mpack facet, while the ultrafiltration unit (5) includes a series of membranes (6) through which passes the mixture of water exempt from free hydrocarbon which has been separated in the gravimetric unit (1).; The separator finds special application in ship bilges, and in addition to the separation of free hydrocarbon in a current of water, also performs the separation of the emulsified hydrocarbon, with automatic operation.
